The fifteenth arrondissement has long been a destination for Japanese residents and businesses in Paris. While the area lacks a single, concentrated district, its residential streets and proximity to various institutions have drawn a consistent community of expatriates since the nineteen sixties. A notable anchor in this landscape is the Maison de la Culture du Japon, located near the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Inaugurated in nineteen ninety-seven, the building is a prominent glass and steel structure designed by architects Kenneth Armstrong and Masayuki Yamanaka.
